During the 1990s the Civic VTi gained acclaim for sharp handling and its 1.6-litre VTEC power. Tamiya faithfully models that racing pedigree in this 1/10 assembly kit, with a painted Castrol-inspired scheme achievable on the supplied polycarbonate body.
The FF-03 chassis emphasises front-wheel drive with a longitudinal battery layout and a compact gearbox paired with a ball differential to manage traction. Its double wishbone suspension at each corner, CVA oil dampers and inboard front arrangement allow fine tuning for road or club track conditions.
The Tamiya 58467 measures 414mm long, 185mm wide and 132mm tall, and offers selectable wheelbase positions at 257mm, 245mm and 233mm. The bathtub chassis, front motor setup, 3-piece steering tie-rod and CVA Super Mini shocks combine to create a reliable platform. A Type 540 motor is supplied but you will need to add an ESC.
The Tamiya 58467 is a strong choice for collectors and drivers who favour realistic FWD models that are easy to tune for different driving styles.
